Hi, Iā€™m Ben!

Iā€™m passionate about all things frontend, and love the opportunities it provides to intersect development with design. If Iā€™m not at my computer, you can probably find me at the gym, reading, or playing my saxophone in my local band! šŸŽ·

Experience

Iā€™m currently a Full Stack Engineer at Starling Bank, developing and maintaining the services that power our Suggestions feature. I also build and improve tools on our Management Portal, a cross-departmental platform for Customer Engagement.

Previously I was at Max as a software engineer at Warner Bros. Discovery, focussing on high-performance code for smart TVs, set-top boxes, and games consoles.

And before that I worked at Arm on my industrial placement, implementing a component-driven architecture in React for Arm Developer Community, and writing backend Azure policies to introduce new functionality to Arm Account.
